Margie Church News Letter

Adult content. Must be over the age of 18 to read this newsletter. Happy Autumn! This is my favorite season. It inspires me in so many ways, so I thought I'd share a few poems I wrote. The forest road is an actual photograph in the arrowhead region of Minnesota. It's the near the lake that's shown on the cover of Nopeming Shores, too. Do you ever write poetry? This month I'm also celebrating my 30th wedding anniversary. I know - I was a child bride. wink wink I'm proud of this accomplishment and we look forward to the special plans we have. My husband and I are even sneaking away for a long weekend away. And when I look up I see you caught between the glory and death of summer. I weep for dreams lost in summer's green cape now shrouded in autumn's magnificent splendor Though different the sight is inspiring as you are when our thoughts meet forever changed. ©Margie Church I'm deep into my newest novel - Its working title is: I am Jolene. It's a story about a young woman named Jolene. Here's the working blurb: A childhood marred by torture, neglect, and murder have not destroyed Jolene's spirit. She immerses herself in her work as a baker, determined to create a happier, peaceful life. She's well on her way to accomplishing her goal until she meets Brendan. Brendan is attracted to the compassion he senses hidden beneath Jolene's cool veneer. Although he's not looking for love, he falls hard for this beautiful, quiet woman. Brendan awakens Jolene to possibilities she'd never dared dream of. Is he man enough to accept her dark past and give her love and happiness? On the surface, this may sound like a romance, but in its totality, this book is women's fiction. There will be romance toward the end, but the majority of the story is about Jolene's journey (and no, that's not going to be the title either) to make peace with her past and get the most she can out of life. I've got two literary agents interested in it. That is very exciting. Who knows where that could take me? In the meantime, I'll keep writing. My goal is to finish the novel by Thanksgiving. What else? I'm starting the second book of the Razor series with K.B. Cutter. It'll be titled Razor: Love's Storm and I hope we can get that wrapped up by Christmas. Look for a brand new cover for the first book, too. It's being worked on now to help us launch a series instead of a single title. Nopeming Shores is going to get some repositioning in the market, too. After a big aha moment, I realized this book also is women's fiction. The cover is going to get adjusted and the book will be reloaded into this broader more appropriate genre. The book is certainly a love story, but it's not a romance. I hope I'll have great news to share about the changes in Razor and Nopeming Shores. click Me Fall into Love Contest! Click on me to enter contest My Fall into Love Contest ends October 7.
